What materials are these glasses made of?
Double-walled or double-bottomed dishes are made of special borosilicate glass. It can withstand temperatures from -20 degrees Celsius to +150 degrees Celsius. Boron oxide is added to the glass, which gives the fragile-looking dishes particularly durable properties. Transparency is not affected.
The distinctive features of borosilicate glass are the following factors:
- Chemical resistance.
- Low coefficient of thermal expansion.
- Resistance to high temperatures.
This glass is used to make laboratory equipment, containers for open fire, heat-resistant kitchen utensils. All dishes made of borosilicate glass, including glasses, can be heated in the oven and microwave oven, put in the refrigerator and freezer. This will not affect the properties and appearance of the product in any way.
Important! Although the material has increased strength, it is still not recommended to store glasses by placing them one inside another, subjecting them to sudden and significant temperature changes, or dropping them.
